Jeff Halpern is working out with Washington Capital players as he looks for a team to sign with for the 2014-15 season.

Halpern had five goals and 12 points in 69 games last season with the Coyotes but at age 38, the best he can hope for at this time is getting a professional tryout offer. He lives in the Washington area and that is why he is practicing with the Capitals. Sun, Sep 7, 2014 08:52:00 AM

"I basically wait for a phone call and then if somebody says we have a contract, I say, 'Whatever your offer is, I'll take less,'" Halpern said. He had five goals and 12 points in 69 games in 2013-14. The 38-year-old is a decent bottom-six forward, but he has no fantasy value in standard leagues. Thu, Jul 31, 2014 04:23:00 PM

Jeff Halpern's goal with 3:05 left gave Phoenix a 4-3 win Monday night against Los Angeles.

Halpern's fourth goal this season was a shot from the left side that Kings goalie Jonathan Quick appeared to stop with his stick, however replays showed that the puck crossed the line. Keith Yandle also had a strong night with a goal and an assist, while Rob Klinkhammer and Mikkel Boedker also scored for the Coyotes. Tue, Mar 18, 2014 03:51:00 AM

It wouldn't be surprising if the Coyotes let Brad Richardson walk as an unrestricted free agent.

Richardson can test the market this summer. The Coyotes have already acquired Marcus Kruger from Carolina, which potentially fills the fourth-line center slot that Richardson would have occupied. It's possible though that Arizona will still sign Richardson and one of them will shift to the wing at the start of the campaign, but with Kruger on the roster, the Coyotes' priorities are likely elsewhere.

Coyotes GM John Chayka revealed that Marcus Kruger played through the 2017-18 campaign with a sports hernia.

Kruger underwent hernia surgery roughly two weeks ago as a result. That might help explain Kruger's struggles last season. He had a goal and six points in 48 games with Carolina and was eventually sent to the AHL. The Hurricanes dealt Kruger to Arizona on Thursday and clearly Chayka is hoping that Kruger bounces back. "You take (the injury) into consideration, but at the same time you think he got a repair done (where) the recovery is pretty straightforward," Chayka said. "We think that’ll get the jump back in his skate and it’ll be a real useful and helpful piece to our lineup."

Bolland will probably open the season on the long-term injured reserve list after failing his physical. "He’s working towards trying to (play), but again injuries are what they are. He’s been trying to comeback from that injury for the last nine months and he hasn’t gotten to the stage where he can do that to be cleared," said agent Anton Thun. "His goal is to try to continue to play, but at some point in time, it may just be not happening. He may never play again." He's completed two seasons of his five-year, $27.5 million deal.

Domi just played the final season of his entry-level contract. He only had nine goals and finished with 45 points in 82 games, but he got better late in the year. Domi generated four goals and 14 assists over the final 20 contests. "Unfortunately, it was one of those seasons where I wasn't the player I would liked to have been," he said. "You have to find ways to figure out where you went wrong, understand that, and not sulk about it. You have to accept it and make sure it doesn't happen again next year. With that being said, I'm excited with how we finished at the end of year. Everyone was playing their best hockey of the year, so you take that momentum and bring it back for next year."

Nick Cousins scored a goal while adding an assist with a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win against the Kings.

Cousins posted his first multi-point game since Feb. 8 in Minnesota when he struck for two goals, and it was his first game with two or more points in front of the home folks since he erupted for an assist and two goals, including the overtime winner, against the Islanders on Jan. 22. He entered this game with no points in 10 of his previous 11 outings, so he'll need to do more of this before fantasy owners can trust him outside of deeper pools.

Christian Fischer scored his 15th of the season in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

Fischer has scored in back-to-back games for the second time this season. The forward opened the scoring on Thursday night, kicking off the first of three goals scored by Arizona in the game. The 'Yotes took a 3-1 lead before the Canucks came back with three unanswered en route to an overtime win. Fischer now has 15 goals and 33 points in 78 games this season.

Richard Panik was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to multiple sources, for trespassing.

According to ABC 15 Arizona, Panik allegedly refused to leave the entrance of Bevvy, which is a champagne bar and cocktail lounge in Scottsdale, on April 8. The report mentioned that Panik appeared intoxicated and he was released later with a criminal citation.

The Oilers got caught in their own end when Christian Dvorak fed a perfect pass over to Archibald who promptly put the puck in the back of the net. It's Archibald's third point in eight games since joining the Coyotes and he is now up to two goals and three points in 11 total games. Brad Richardson also scored in the loss.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson had two goals and seven points in 10 games in the 2018 World Championships.

Ekman-Larsson's efforts helped him earn a gold medal with Team Sweden. He was also selected as part of the tournament's All-Star team. "It feels great," Ekman-Larsson said. "We played a really good tournament, and everybody has been working so hard. It's so fun that everybody gets to experience this feeling." This is the second straight gold medal for Sweden and Ekman-Larsson at the Worlds. He also won an Olympic silver medal in 2014.

Hjalmarsson's season ended on March 22nd due to the injury. His recovery is on schedule and at this time we have no reason to believe that this will prevent him from being available at the start of training camp.

Antti Raanta allowed two goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

This was Raanta's first appearance since signing a three-year contract extension on Friday. The 28-year-old will head into training camp as the favorite to be the starting netminder. He finished the year with a 21-17-6 record, a 2.24 goals-against-average and a .930 save percentage, which is pretty impressive considering he played on one of the worst teams in the NHL. The Coyotes will head into the draft lottery with the third-best odds of getting the first overall pick.
